Old Superheroes: Artist Shows How Superheroes Will Look When They Retire

296

ADVERTISEMENT

Eddie Liu, an artist based in Shanghai, has created a short but wonderful series that imagines what a few of our favorite superheroes might look like when they grow old. In Liu’s interpretation, they’ve lost some of their youthful sheen but retain all of their heroic majesty.

Reinterpreting pop-culture characters can be a fun source of inspiration for artists. Isaque Arêas, for example, drew Disney princesses the way they might look if they were the age they would be today.

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    He does but takes him longer than normal humans. This could be happening in a few hundred years.

    This is interesting, but the title is somewhat unfitting. I mean, if they retire, they probably wouldn't be wearing their costumes in the first place. ^_-

    Costume? It's all I got. I just sleep in my clothes now. I don't want to do the spin anymore--might break a hip.

    I think this artist has mommy/women issues. As fabulous as the Wonder Woman character was created to be, she would never shrivel up with toxic & stupid habits like smoking. Divas age beautifully with self-love and respect.
